Like the Wynter Needs the Spring

I play across their minds each day
In comfort of the words they say.
Adventuring the out of in.
Tomorrow's try: a new begin.

Although at times they go astray
I play across their minds each day
To teach within from heart and soul
Those little ones in my control.

Reflecting on their love of all
I hold them up, to never fall.
I play across their minds each day
And often tears I wipe away.

Like Wynter needs the Spring each year
To feel the warmth to persevere.
To lift those thoughts that on me weigh,
I play across their minds each day.


M (Wynter)

Keep playing across their minds, and lifting their eyes beyond those day-to-day mishaps.
This is a very uplifting write, Maureen.

I love the rhyming on this one, Maureen.
And the spelling of 'wynter' to me is always a cool thing. No pun intended.

I love the formal style you have given this work:  it seems so appropriate to the content.  A most thought-provoking piece, describing with elegance what all parents go through.  

Sutra 4: Do not expect your Path to be smooth.  It will have rocks, slippery portions, and parts that are washed away completely.  Persevere.

Thanks everyone~~sorry I haven't been around much but between teaching and then freezing at the Renaissance Faire lately (we had an early snow and very low temps) I am just too worn out. Hoping for some more normal October weather.

M...and I used the Wynter spelling because that was the name I used associated with this poetry site way back when

splendid, as always, Maur.  The unique way you phrase is always a welcome sight.

I went to a Renaissance fair once, but they had it a week later, and the field was used for paintball.  I went ahead and stayed and played paintball- never got to see a single set of tights.  Go figger
Take your hug from me,
Jeff

Wonderful writing Maureen, you're ending is just so beautiful.

Reminds me of my daycare.  What a difference those little angels made in my life.

hugs~
